It’d Be All Scratchy

Why yes, I did have an excellent weekend! Thanks for asking!

Why so great? Because the MOTHAF*CKIN’ PATRIOTS ARE IN THE SUPERBOWL!

I can’t say it was the best game I watched all year. In fact, a valid argument could be made that they didn’t so much win as “not lose.” But. in the end, the MOTHAF*CKIN’ PATRIOTS ARE IN THE SUPERBOWL!

The NFC did not disappoint either, with a realy nail biter taking place between the 49ers and the Giants. While I would have preferred the 49ers to win, no one can say they aren’t looking forward to this Superbowl XLII rematch.

If you’d asked me at the beginning of the season if we’d be seeing a matchup like this, I would have sincerely doubted it. In fact, for most of the season, I was sure that Green Bay were going to march right into back-to-back titles (with hopefully an awesome NFC Championship game against the Lions). They seemed to have it together all year, but it just illustrates what I love so much about football: It always comes down to what happens on any given Sunday.

The only bad part about the Superbowl is the 2 weeks in between it and the end of the playoffs. It seems like so long! But I guess that’s part of the appeal, the building of the hype and such. Though, I don’t know if this game needs much hype given it’s participants.

But it does give me time to cook up a hearty batch of chilli…

Put Things In Our Mouths (words, mostly)!

Whaddap Dudes!

So, just so you don’t forget, there’s an anniversary coming up. A pretty big one for us. Yup. That’s right. No Reason is gettin’ old enough that its starting to count milestones, and we’re closing in on number five!

WHAAAAAAT?!

Back in September 2006, Jeff Moss and I put together our first strips and posted them up online. Back then, we thought we were hilarious, and could draw well. We still think that. And now we’d like to give you the readers, perhaps other creators, a chance to do something like that as well. Maybe you’ve had your own strip in mind for No Reason. Maybe there are words you want to make come out of Murph’s mouth, or a pair of pants you’d rather see Jamie wear. Or maybe you have your own comic and you’d like to do a strip or two where your characters meet ours. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe… and the word has lost all meaning. Maybe.

Either way, starting this September 2011, our 5th Anniversary, we’ll be accepting Fan-Made Strips from the community. Those that are a cut above might be featured here in the main page of No Reason’s anniversary celebrations – but everyone will be included in a gallery with timed releases so that the spotlight can shine down not only on Jamie and Murph, but all you wonderful people that bring them to life every week.

So, get your pens warmed up and your erasers ready! You can find out more here.
